mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: introduce the name HVO
It it inconvenient to mention the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages
associated with HugeTLB pages when communicating with others since there
is no specific or abbreviated name for it when it is first introduced.
Let us give it a name HVO (HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization) from now.
This commit also updates the document about "hugetlb_free_vmemmap" by the
way discussed in thread [1].
